Method and kit for producing structural parts and complete structural members using interconnected structural elements, and arrangement for interconnecting the structural elements

ABSTRACT

The invention relates to a method and a kit for producing structural parts and complete structural members using structural elements, which are to be connected, as well as to an arrangement for connecting the structural elements to one another. It is an object of the invention to provide a method, a kit and an arrangement of the generic type, with which it is possible to assemble structural bodies of different form and development of the structural elements into self-supporting structural members, structural sections and areas. Pursuant to the invention, this objective is accomplished owing to the fact that the structural elements are assembled together into planar structural parts and structural members by means of edge-overlapping and surface over-lapping connecting elements, which are to be inserted, and are fixed and locked in the completely assembled state as compact structural bodies. The invention is developed owing to the fact that the structural elements of the kit are constructed as basic elements and as connecting elements, the connecting elements having guides, in which the basic elements are accommodated and brought into a relationship with one another, in which they form planar, as well as spatial structures of different geometric shape and are assembled using direction-changing elements.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

The invention relates to a method for producing structural parts andcomplete structural members using premanufactured structural elements ofdifferent form and construction, which are to be interconnected and arepreferably manufactured from plastics and which, when interconnected,result in planar structures, the joining of which leads to completestructural members. The invention furthermore relates to a kit for usingthe method and to an arrangement using the structural elements of thekit.

The production and assembly of structural members and other structuresfrom kits, which consist of structural elements that can be combinedwith one another in the grid, is known. It is furthermore known tocombine such structural elements with guides or equip them withconnecting elements, which hold the individual structural elementstogether. In this connection, the planar structural bodies are supportedin connecting elements and thus result in a structural member, which hascertain static properties. The German patent 41 30 478 C2 discloses aspatial body, which is constructed in such a manner, that surfaceelements, pushed into its guide, are held and disposed in certain planesfor connection with other connecting elements. Accordingly, the Germanpatent shows a spatial body, which is assembled by the insertion ofsurface elements. At the same time, the surface structures of twoadjacent surface elements are held together by an elastic tape. Thetechnical solution of this publication arises only for the constructionof spatial bodies, which find use as illustrative material forinstructional purposes.

The German patent 29 50 138 C2 introduces a panel system, for producingparticularly containers. The technical solution of this invention isbased on introducing connectors into the end faces of the panelelements, thus locking the elements positively. By using edge elements,edge-overlapping connections of the panels are produced in order tobuild up spatial bodies by these means. It is extremely complicated toconnect the individual panels in one plane as well as over an edge,since clamps, which must be moved horizontally and vertically into theelements, have to be used for the connection in one plane. For the flatconnections, large-format reinforcing rods, which secure the position ofthe panel elements in the plane and to stiffen the surface, have to beintroduced. When the surface elements meet at right angles to oneanother in order to form a body edge, angle elements are inserted intothe panel elements and the horizontal and vertical surfaces are heldtogether by using eccentric bolt lever fasteners. The use of such panelsystems for constructing spatial bodies is very complicated. On the onehand, the use of this system of German patent 29 50 138 does not permitgap-free structural members to be produced. Furthermore, the variabilityof the contours of the spatial bodies so produced is very limited. Onthe whole, the costs of constructing spatial bodies with this panelsystem are extremely high and do not permit spatial bodies to beproduced, which meet the requirements of weather, such as rain, snow anda wind loads and protect the interior of the structure against theeffects of temperature. The German patent 29 21 599 C2 introduces anapparatus for detachably holding wall and ceiling elements. Inaccordance with the introductory portion of the main claim, theapparatus finds use in the construction of exhibition facilities andstores for producing furniture, room dividers and partitions. Inaccordance with the technical teachings, connectors are disclosed, inwhich slot-shaped receptacles permit wall and floor parts to be insertedand, in one embodiment of an element, enable vertical and horizontalelements to be accommodated simultaneously by insertion. For thispurpose, the connecting elements have one-arm or multi-arm slot-shapedreceptacles, into which the elements can be inserted. Depending on theposition of the slot-shaped receptacles in the connecting element, theintroduction of 1 to 4 horizontal or vertical elements, separately orcombined, in a horizontal and a vertical arrangement is possible.However, this publication discloses only the connecting elements for thespatial body planes, without showing the elements, which are insertedinto these connecting elements. The use, limited in the introductoryportion of the main claim, leads to the conclusion that a use of thisapparatus in structural members, which must withstand the inclemenciesof the weather, must be constructed in large dimensions corresponding toits use.

It is an object of the invention to provide a method for the productionof structural parts and complete the structural bodies, usingpre-manufactured structural elements of different shape andconstruction, which are produced preferably from plastic, can beinterconnected to provide planar formations, the joining of which leadsto complete structural bodies, as well as to provide a kit for usingthis method and an arrangement using the structural elements of the kit,with which it is possible to assemble structural members of differentshape and arrangement to form self-supporting structural members,structural member sections and surfaces.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Pursuant to the invention, this objective is accomplished owing to thefact that the structural elements are assembled together into planarstructural parts and structural members by means of connecting elements,which are to be inserted and overlap edges and surfaces and are fixedand locked in the completely assembled state as compact structuralbodies. It is within the sense of the invention that an interconnectionof the structural elements is carried out by self-locking connections,in collaboration with slidable connections of the different elements,selected from differently constructed types of guides of the elements.The invention is developed owing to the fact that the structural membersof planar formations are interconnected into compact structural bodiesby incorporating corner-overlapping and edge-overlapping structuralelements in the process of interconnecting the planar structural part.One development is to be seen therein that the structural elements areconnected by means of a guided sliding motion of one or severalelements, along their outer edge in profiled guides. The continuation ofthe development also permits the structural elements to be connected bymeans of a guided sliding motion in the direction counter to the outercontour of one or several connecting elements in open guides, which arenot profiled. Pursuant to the invention, the structural elements areconnected with a fastening element, engaging the connecting element,along and in the direction counter to the outer contour of thestructural elements in the profiles. The invention is developed furtherowing to the fact that the production of the structural members andstructural parts, as well as their adjustment is carried out withoutmechanical processing and without changing the shape of the structuralelements for adapting them to the shape of the structural member. In afurther development of the inventive method, the sliding motion takesplace with a clamp placed on the T-shaped profile in a hollow profile ofthe connecting element, along the T-shaped profile of a guide.

Meaningfully developed, the sliding motion of the clamps is carried outin a similar plane of two axes, superimposed in two directions, againstthe inner regions of the guides of the connecting elements in order tosecure the position, the sliding motion of the clamps being carried outin a similar plane in at least two directions in one or more connectingelements. It is a particularly advantageous development of the inventionthat, for the production of structural members, edge-overlapping andcontinuous with all body surfaces, edge-overlapping elements are used,the connection of the elements with one another being carried out fromthe position of the guides in a horizontal and a vertical direction.

In an advantageous development of the invention, which permits anextremely variable configuration of structural members and structuralparts, the structural elements are formed from basic and connectingelements and the basic elements with the connecting elements, held inguides and brought into a relationship with one another to form planarand spatial formations of different shape, are interconnected. At thesame time, the basic elements and element groups are brought by aplurality of differently developed, edge-overlapping connectingelements, which meet the respective requirements, into an arrangementforming the contours of the structural body. With their edge lengths,the basic elements form a uniform multiple of the connecting elements,placed in connection with their guides, the basic elements, in theconfiguration of the structural member and the assurance of high staticrequirements, being surrounded completely in their contours by theconnecting elements and connected with one another. Due to thisconfiguration of the basic elements and the connection elements,checkerboard-like locking of the surfaces of the structural member isensured and the necessarily high, static load-carrying ability isassured. It must be mentioned here that the uniform configuration of thecontours of the connecting element, their screening and suitability,permit an aesthetic configuration of the surface of the structural body.Last, but not least, due to the mutual insertion of the guides ofdirection-changing connecting elements, whereby here direction changingas edge-overlapping for the surface formation or the inclination of thesurface of the structural member, the manufacture and assembly of arigid spatial formation of different geometric shape and spatialarrangement is assured. It is an advantage, which is reflected in theconfiguration of the elements, that, at the structural elements, whichhave been constructed as basic elements, these guides, which areconstructed as T-shaped profiles, have exposed contours and that thethereto fitting connecting elements have guides, which extend on theinside and into which basic and securing elements are introduced,surrounded by these and held for absorbing tensile, compressive andbending stresses. The invention turns out to be advantageous owing tothe fact that the connecting elements are constructed with guides, whichare not bent or divided, for pushing onto the respective basic element.This type of configuration of the connecting elements permits a simpleassembly, if the basic elements are exposed at their corners and permitsliding on of the connecting elements. A different type of configurationof the connecting elements is necessary, when it is not possible toslide them on, but the use of inner profiles is available. In this case,the connecting elements are constructed in divided fashion. The guideswith their profile are then disposed with uniform divisions. After theelement halves are disposed on either side of the basic elements, thelatter are assembled once again. The assembly takes place in such amanner, that the element halves embrace the guides, holding them, andare fixed with fastening elements. It is a development of the inventionthat the connecting elements alternatively, depending on the nature oftheir use and the installation possibilities in the structural members,have profiled guides or guides which are not profiled. The expert hasthe option of sliding the connecting elements with profiled guides, theprofile of which is congruent with the T-shaped profiles of the basicelements, onto these basic elements, the basic elements with guides,which are not profiled, accommodating the profiles of the basic elementsby insertion in their guide; in the case of corner-overlapping elements,there can be insertion or sliding on. It is self-evident now and becomesclear when the following further comments are considered, that theprofiled guides are self-holding and that, however, holding elements,such as clamps, must be used in the guides which are not profiled. It istherefore a feature of the invention that the guides of the basicelements are provided with a T-shaped profile. In order to permit theiruse in the structural member, selected connecting elements, as alreadymentioned, are provided with a T-shaped inner profile, in which theprofile of the basic elements is guided by insertion. It is anadvantageous development of the invention if the guides of theconnecting elements, in their longitudinal extent, are provided on thedivided elements and are disposed symmetrically divided and on eitherside thereto. It fulfills the logic of the invention that, in thedivided elements, elements for connecting the parts are disposed, whichare formed from profiled openings, into which profiled fasteningelements, which permit a positive connection, are inserted. Pursuant tothe invention, the fastening elements have been selected as a dowelarrangement with a straddling dowel and an expansion screw. In a logicalconnection, the use of a holding clamp in the total system of the kithas already found mention above. It is therefore an advantage of theinvention that a holding clamp is provided, which has an inner profile,which is congruent with the T-shaped profile of the basic element,extends parallel to this and has a clamping clasp at its underside,which permits a holding engagement with a connecting element. Thisengagement of the clamping clasp is achieved owing to the fact that theclamp is moved on the T-shaped profile of the connecting element, pushedinto the basic element and, with that, both elements, the basic elementand the connecting element, are fixed in position. Of course, and itbecomes clear here in the following consideration of the basic elements,that the respective connecting element must be adapted in shape to thegeometry of the other connecting element for assembling the basic andconnecting elements. This adaptation enables the connection between thetwo elements to be secured by inserting clamps with their holding claspsin two axial directions into the connecting elements. Owing to the factthat the clamps are pushed in a horizontal and a vertical direction intothe connecting elements, the position is secured also in two axes. It isan embodiment of the inventive solution that the kit has basic elements,which are constructed in their basic geometric shape as a square,rectangle or triangle, the length of the edge of the respective basicelement being at least twice the effective length of the guides of theconnecting elements and, according to the diction of the solution, thelength of the edge of basic elements and the lengths of the connectingelements forming a grid, for which the length of the edge of the basicelements is a multiple of the length of the guides of the connectingelements. It is within the meaning of the invention that the smallestangle of a corner of a basic element is 27°. A development of the basicelements should be mentioned, which finds its expression therein thatthe T-shaped profiles of the guides are constructed continuously at theside edges of the basic element, but are flattened in the corner regionsdown to the thickness of the cross member of the T-shaped profile. In acontinuation of the representation of the elements of the kit, aconnecting strip is provided, which has a basic rectangular shape withend faces, which are narrower than the side faces. At the side faces ofthe strip, profiled guides are disposed, the cross section of which isT-shaped and thus is congruently shaped with the basic elements andpermits the connecting strip to be pushed onto the basic elements. Asalready mentioned, the assembly regime is of decisive importance for theuse of the respective connecting elements, as becomes clearer below inconnection with the configuration of the structural member. For thisreason, in employing the invention, the connecting strip, as shown abovein its totality, advantageously is constructed in a divided fashion. Inthis connection, the division proceeds in the longitudinal direction ofthe element through its center, divides the profile of the guides intotwo equal halves and permits the connecting element to be attached fromthe inside of the structural body and the outside in each case with itshalves to the basic elements and to be connected by means of fasteningelements. As already disclosed in the procedure section, the connectionis accomplished by means of straddling dowels, which are inserted into aseat provided for this purpose, connect the two parts of the strip andfix them in position. It is one type of application of the inventionthat a cross connector is available in the kit. The cross connector isformed from a cross, which is provided with legs of equal length;guides, into which four basic elements can be pushed, are provided atthe mutually facing sides of the legs extending on the outside. Withthat, versatility is ensured for the installation by using thisstructural element in the interlocking system of the structural body.The guides for accommodating the basic elements are not profiled and,for fastening the basic elements, permit a clamp to be pushed in which,with its inner profile, encloses the T-shaped profile of the basicelements and, with its side surfaces, is inserted in the guides of thecross connector. Eight clamping clasps, two in each of the xth of thelegs, hold the four basic elements securely in position in the crossconnector. As already explained above, the clamping clasps engage theinner cross beams of the hollow profile of the cross connector. Inconsideration of the installation regime, the cross connector is alsoprovided in divided form. In this connection, the guides advantageouslyare provided with T-shaped inner profiles, which surround the T-shapedprofiles of the basic elements, holding them, when the cross connector,in the installation cycle, is inserted as a respective half into thestructural member and connected with straddling dowels. Of course, thecross connector is divided symmetrically and the dowel seats aredisposed uniformly on the axis cross of the surface of the connector.The dowel seats are provided on the upper part and the correspondencesare provided with the incorporated denticulations on the lower part. Itshould not remain unmentioned that the fixed halves are locked at thestructural member with an expansion screw, which is introduced into thestraddling dowel. It is an advantageous development of the inventionthat surfaces can be produced with the kit in manifold positions andassembled into structural members. A corner element for accommodatingthree basic elements, which are parallel and two basic elements, whichare not parallel, is provided for producing an edge-overlapping sectionof a structural body. The summary information of the basic elements,which are to be incorporated, is intended here to emphasize theuniversality of the element selected. In detail, the element isconstructed as follows. Guides, into which basic elements of triangularor parallel shape can be incorporated, are provided in all legs. In thisconnection, an inclined continuous leg, a vertical leg and a horizontalleg intersect at a point for the introduction into a vertical plane. Twomutually opposite, triangular basic elements and one square orrectangular basic element are inserted into the free spaces of the legs.Parallel to the upper edge of the inclined leg, at an angle of 90°thereto, a further horizontal leg, extending in the plane, is disposed,into which guides are incorporated, which ensure that two rectangular orsquare basic elements are accommodated in a plane. All basic elementsare held in guides and fixed in position with clamps. The inventive kitis developed by an angular strip, which makes it possible to accommodatetwo basic elements aligned at an angle of 90° to one another. Theangular strip has guides with T-shaped inner profiles, the longitudinalcenter axes of which run parallel to one another, the thereupon directedtransverse center axes being disposed at an angle of 90° to one another.This development of an angular strip ensures an edge-overlappingincorporation of basic elements which, in their allocation to oneanother, form two structural body planes, which are placed at rightangles to one another. It is an advantageous development of the angularelements if the element along the center axes of the T-shaped innerprofiles is divided into an upper part and a lower part. In thisconnection, the division proceeds along the center axes of the innerprofiles, forming the guide, in such a manner, that the profile isdivided into two halves of equal size which, in their longitudinalextent, in each case carry half an inner profile, the planes of which ofcourse are directed at an angle of 90° to one another. After the innerprofiles encircle the T-shaped profiles of the basic elements, which areto be connected, a straddling dowel is introduced in each case into thedowel seats, which are disposed in the apex of the angle, that is,precisely in the xth of the two legs. The straddling dowel, introducedwith its denticulation into the correspondence in the other part of theangular strip, fixes the latter by way of the denticulation and holds itat the intended place. The invention achieves a meaningful developmentthrough an end corner for accommodating four basic elements. The corneris formed from legs with leg necks, which are directed at an angle of90° to one another. In this connection, two leg pairs are alwaysdirected at right angles to one another and thus form a connectingelement, into which the four, already shown basic elements areintroduced in each case in pairs next to one anther and aligned at anangle of 90° to one another. Of course, the guides in the legs proceedin the same manner, so that, after insertion of the basic elements intothe guide of the end corner, an edge-overlapping assembly of twostructural body planes is undertaken. A ceiling corner, for assemblingthree basic elements in three planes, represents an advantageous furtherdevelopment of the inventive solution. Two legs are placed here at anangle of 90° to one another and two further legs adjoin these legs at anangle of 90°. The first pair of legs permits the insertion of twovertical basic elements, which are, however, at an angle of 90° toanother, to which a horizontally lying basic element is disposed at thesame angle for forming a ceiling plane. A ceiling corner of a structuralmember is formed by the element. Basic elements, provided with guides,are pushed once again into the ceiling corner and held in the guideswith clamps. As also in all other connecting elements, hollow profiles,in the end regions of which recesses are formed for accommodating theclamps, are disposed here in the apex region of the guides. By means ofthe recesses, which are incorporated in the hollow profiles of allelements, which have guides that are not profiled, a straightflat-surfaced end of the head sides of the connecting element isattained, since the separators, with which the clamping clasp is hingedin the clamp, are taken up by the recesses and since the connectingelement forms a plane with the end surface of the clamp or with the endor head surface of the connecting element. The invention is developedowing to the fact that a cross connector with a T-shaped construction isprovided, which has guides at both sides of its and at the long edges ofthe holding body, which guides have such a positional orientation, thatfour basic elements can be aligned simultaneously in the same directionin one plane and held to one another in guides. On the upper side of theholding body, which extends at right angles to a cross member disposedcentrally thereon, the guides are interrupted by a stop, so that thebasic elements, disposed on the holding body counter to the crossmember, hit the cross member and make it possible to put the connectingstrips in place between their edges. These connecting strips may or maynot be divided, that is, they can be installed by being pushed on or ashalves. Of course, the basic elements, introduced here, are held withclamps in the guides. In order to utilize the advantages of the courseconnector comprehensively and to be able to produce a structural bodyplane inclined and bent vertically, the previously shown cross connectoris bent in the region of the cross member striking the holding body. Theangle of bending is 27°, so that a basic element pair is inclined at anangle of 27° from the horizontal towards the perpendicularly disposedbasic elements. Here also, connecting strips are interposed, which canbe pushed on or attached as halves, ensure the locking of all parts bymeans of clamps in the guides provided for the purpose. Theedge-overlapping connecting elements of the inventive kit are completedfurther by a bent ceiling corner. With the ceiling corner, thetermination of an inclined ceiling plane with two structural bodyplanes, which are vertical and at an angle of 90° to one another, isbrought about. The inclination of the horizontal plane is taken intoaccount at a vertical plane in such a manner, that a triangular basicelement is inserted, one leg of which follows the inclination of theplane. Starting out from the intended effects, the ceiling corner isformed owing to the fact that two additional legs intersect at an angleof 90° with legs lying in a vertical plane. All legs carry guides, whichare suitable for accommodating quadrilateral and rectangular basicelements. In the horizontal legs, which intersect with the vertical legsat an angle of 90° and follow the course of the inclination of 27°,guides are provided, which take up the horizontally intersecting, yetinclined basic elements. It is self-evident that all three rectangularor square basic elements are secured in the ceiling corner with clamps.The triangular element is also connected with the opposite connectingelement by means of a clamp; as a result, it is fixed in position in theacute angle of the apex between the horizontal and the inclined leg ofthe vertical plane of the ceiling corner. In accordance with the basicidea of the inventive kit of providing a high variability andadaptability of all elements of a kit that is to be produced, an angularstrip is provided, which adapts to the conditions of the bent ceilingcorner and represents an edge-overlapping, parallel constructedconnecting element. The angular strip has two legs of unequal size,which are inclined at an angle of 27° to one another and the outsides ofwhich carry guides with T-shaped inner profiles. Into these innerprofiles, the T-shaped profiles of basic elements are pushed, whichthen, edge-overlapping, form a vertical structural body plane, which ismoreover inclined horizontally thereto at an angle of 27°. To lessen theweight, this connecting element, like other connecting elements, has anexceptionally statically effective distortion-resistant incorporation ofhollow profiles. As also with other connecting elements described above,this connecting element can be constructed in divided fashion, in orderto permit installation from the inside and the outside. For this purposethe element is divided centrally with its cross section following thecourse of the leg. Moreover, the parts carry dowel seats, which aredisposed on the upper part of the leg and have their correspondence inthe lower part of the angular strip. When the angular strip parts arenailed in the structural body from the inside and the outside to thebasic elements, the straddling dowels are pushed into the dowel seatsand fixed in the correspondences and denticulations of the lower partprovided for this purpose. It is an embodiment of the invention that aconnecting strip is provided, which has a planar, rectangular extent. Atthe long sides of the strip, guides with a T-shaped inner profile areincorporated. These inner profiles permit the T-shaped profiles of basicelements to be pushed into the profiles of the connecting strip. Theconfiguration of the strip permits basic elements to be installed in oneplane. So that the connecting strip receives its approximately squareshape, hollow profiles are incorporated between the guides, in order toattain a greater width of this connecting strip. It is an advantageousdevelopment of the inventive solution if the above-described connectingstrip is constructed in a divided fashion. For this purpose the divisionis undertaken in such a manner, that two halves are formed, which ineach case have half a T-shaped inner profile. Consequently, two halfshells result, constructed as upper part and lower part, which can bemounted on the basic elements from the inside and from the outside fromstructural body planes, the respective inner profile halves connectingwith and encircling the T-shaped profiles of the basic elements. Theupper part and the lower part of the connecting strip is fixed by meansof straddling dowels. For this purpose, on the upper part of theconnecting strip along the longitudinal center axis, the straddlingdowel seats are provided, into which the straddling dowels areintroduced and into which the correspondences of the lower part areintroduced. The connecting part becomes effective largely in conjunctionwith corner-overlapping connecting elements used in the region ofinclined planes. The invention is developed further by a floor corner.On the underside, this element has a contact surface and is formed bylegs, which proceed horizontally and vertically from the contactsurface. Adjoining at an angle of 90° the so set angle, the one leg ofwhich is inclined at an angle of 27° to the horizontal leg, is a furtherangle consisting of two legs, the long leg of which follows the courseof the direction of the vertically extending, inclined leg. Theconstruction of this floor corner permits mutually adjoining basicelements of two planes, one of which is inclined at an angle of 27°, tobe incorporated in a corner region and to support the therefromconstructed walls on a contact surface. Guides without disposed T-shapedinner profiles permit basic elements to be inserted and to be secured bypushing clamps into the corresponding hollow profiles adjoining theguides. A connecting element, adjoining the floor corner, is constructedas an inclined floor strip. The floor strip has a basic body, whichcarries T-shaped inner profiles of guides along its upper edge. Acontact surface, extending at an angle on the basic body, is constructedat the lower longitudinal edge. The contact surface extends from theouter long surface of the floor strip inclined at an angle of 27° to therear, short surface. Due to the fact that this contact surface isinclined, the basic element is provided with the necessary inclinationfor supporting basic elements, incorporated in or pushed onto theirguides, in an inclined position on a foundation material. Within theinstallation regime, it may be necessary to put the floor strip in placeand not to push it on; for this reason, in a meaningful development ofthe invention of the kit, the floor strip is constructed in dividedfashion. The division proceeds in the direction of the center axis ofthe guide directed perpendicularly to the longitudinal center axis anddivides the T-shaped inner profile of the strip up to the region of thebasic body. Moreover, the upper part and the lower part have dowelseats, into which the straddling dowels are pushed when the upper partand the lower part of the floor strip are disposed at the respectivelyprovided basic element and the inner profile of the floor strip embracesthe T-shaped profile of the basic element. The floor strip, protrudingin an inclined version, is now constructed for absorbing vertical loadsfrom the structural body planes in such a manner, that a contactsurface, which places the contact strip in a precisely verticaldirection of its center axis and thus assures a secure contact surfacefor vertically extending walls, is disposed along surface sides opposedby T-shaped inner profiles. Of course, despite all variability andspecific properties of the connecting elements, a divisibility of thefloor strip is attained here. Of course, despite all the variability andspecific properties of the connecting elements, a divisibility of thefloor strip is achieved here. The division proceeds in a mannerequivalent to that of the inclined floor strip, along the verticallydirected center axis through the guide with its incorporated T-shapedinner profiles. In a continuation of the inventive solution anddeveloping the latter, a wall corner is provided. The wall corner servesto support a structural member surface inclined at an angle of 27° fromthe horizontal plane. For forming the corner configuration, a leg isprovided at a vertically extending leg, in which guides for introducingthe pointed corner of a triangular basic element are provided and whichendows the vertical surface with the edge-extending inclination of 27°from the horizontal, and adjoins thereto at an angle of 90° and carriesat its side directed to the opening of the guide in the vertical leg ahorizontally extending guide. Counter to the incorporated horizontalguide, a leg is bent vertically downwards and has a bearing surface atits thus extending outer side. This bearing surface supports the forcesof the structural body, acting approximately horizontally from theinclined surface, against a wall, which is, for example, alreadypresent. A contacting surface, below the two legs, permits a securesupport for the corner constructed at the wall. Pursuant to theinvention, the guides are constructed so that the basic elements, here arectangular and a triangular basic element, are pushed in and securedappropriately with clamps. Following the basic concept of theconstruction of the horizontal, inclined surface and ensuring aninteraction with the just now described wall corner, a wall strip isprovided. The wall strip consists of a horizontal, short leg and ahorizontal long leg. The long leg is linked at an angle of 27° to theshort leg and, at its upper side, a guide provided with a T-shaped innerprofile is disposed. At its head, the short leg has a bearing surface,which is caused to lie against a wall, which may, for example, bepresent. In this connection, the bearing surface is aligned with theconstruction of the wall corner and ensures a distribution of the loadover several connecting elements. At the underside, a contact surface isprovided for absorbing the vertical components of the load from thestructural body plane. In accordance with the construction of its guide,the wall strip is pushed onto the T-shaped profiles of a basic element.Should the installation regime of the kit require a different type ofincorporation, then the wall strip, in accordance with an inventivedevelopment, is constructed in a divided fashion. The division,moreover, proceeds perpendicularly to the guide, through the long legand divides the greater portion of the leg into an upper part and alower part, each of which carries half a T-shaped inner profile. Dowelseats with the planned correspondences incorporated in the upper andlower parts, permit these parts to be assembled in the installationstate, in order to permit the basic element and an introduction ofstraddling dowels for fixing the wall strip in the structural bodyplane. Here, as with all divided connecting elements, the final lockingtogether at the structural member takes place when all connectingelements of the section or of the structural member are aligned with oneanother in their final position. The final, static effectiveness of thecomposite construction of the elements in the structural member isattained, as explained repeatedly already above, by the locking, whichis concluded advantageously here with the introduction of expansionscrews into the straddling dowels. Pursuant to the invention, the kit isdeveloped further owing to the fact that a T-shaped connector isprovided. The T-shaped connector consists of a holding body, whichextends horizontally and on which, in its longitudinal extent, acentrally adjoining cross member is provided. The T-shaped connector hasguides at its holding body, as well as at the sides of the cross memberand the thereon adjoining sectors of the holding body. Within the scopeof assembling the structural member, three basic elements can beintroduced into these guides. The basic elements are provided here asrectangular or square elements. Of course, it is of no importance hereif, in a continuation of the inventive concept, a triangular elementwould be introduced with its right angle into the guide between theholding body and the cross member. Of course, the basic elements arelocked by clamps, which are pushed into the guides and, with theirclamping clasps, hold the basic elements and the T-shaped connectortogether. Of course, as with other connecting elements also, theseparators of the clamping clasps are pushed into recesses, in order toprovide a smooth alignment for the next connecting element.

The inventive floor connector, which is to be introduced, has aconfiguration similar to that of the T-shaped connector. The floorconnector has the shape of an inverted T with a holding body, whichextends transversely, and a vertical cross member, which is nailed to itcentrally. The lower edge of the holding body is provided with a contactsurface and provides a secure upright position for the floor connector.Guides are provided on either side of the cross member with theremaining legs. Basic elements, which in this case have a verticaleffective position and extend flush in one plane, are pushed into theseguides. The basic elements are effectively connected by the floorconnector by clamps pushed onto them. A floor-wall corner is provided inorder to complete the kit of the connecting elements in the bottomregion. The corner is formed from two legs, which are directed at anangle of 90° to one another and to the back surfaces of which activeplanes are assigned as bearing surface on the vertical leg and ascontact surface on the horizontal leg. In the inner region of the leg,directed towards its apex, guides are provided, in which a basicelement, held with clamps, may be provided. For the further completionof the kit, a ceiling-wall corner must be introduced. The ceiling-wallcorner consists of two angles, which are formed from three legs, ofwhich one leg proceeds at an angle of 90°, starting from the apex of thefirst angle. Guides are disposed in the inner regions of the three legs.The configuration of the legs permits the introduction of three basicelements. Of these, two basic elements form the perpendicularlyextending structural member planes and the horizontally extending basicelement forms the ceiling or the roof plane of a structural member. Ofcourse, the basic elements are pushed into the guides here also and heldat the connecting element by means of clamps and holding clasps. Inorder to enable the sliding installation of three planes directedmutually towards one another, an element, which is introduced pursuantto the invention and constructed as transition part, connects threestructural member planes with one another. Supported by a verticalplane, a horizontal ceiling plane and a horizontal, inclined plane, benttherefrom, are formed here. In this connection, the transition part hasa vertical leg, adjoining which there is a horizontal plane and a planeinclined at 27° to the horizontal. These three legs form a verticalplane. Two further legs are provided, which border on the course of thecontour of the horizontal as well as the inclined leg at an angle of 90°and form the ceiling and the inclined, horizontal plane by taking upappropriate basic elements. A rectangular or square basic element and atriangular basic element are inserted in the vertical region of thetransition part and two either horizontal or square basic elements areincorporated in the horizontally extending leg regions of the transitionpart. With this part, it is possible, in a sliding construction course,to connect horizontally and vertically colliding planes continuously andto fuse them into a united structural body. Here also, as with allconnecting elements, which do not have a guide with a T-shaped innerprofile, the basic elements with pushed-on clamps, are pushed into theguides and are secured by overlapping clamping clasps. In the aboveexplanations of the connecting elements and the basic elements and ofthe manner in which they are assembled and connected, there hasfrequently been mention of clamps. The clamps have not been disclosed atthe beginning, because the method has played a role only now for theconfiguration of the individual connecting elements to the basicelements. With that, it is now necessary to describe the clamps, theirconfiguration and construction, as well as their mode of action in theinventive solution in greater detail. The clamp is constructed from alongitudinally extending basic body, into which an inner profile isincorporated, which extends longitudinally and is formed congruentlywith the T-shaped profile of the basic elements. At the back of theclamp, a tongue-shaped clamping clasp is provided which, with anappropriate gap, is connected with the clamp over an appropriateseparator at the back of the clamp. The clamp is opened in the region ofthe gap, that is, below the aligned tongue. The clamp is pushed with itsinner profile onto the T-shaped profile of a basic element and protrudeswith the opening of the clamping clasp against the corner of the basicelement. With the clamp pushed on and set back by the length of theclamping clasp, the basic element is pushed into the guide of theconnecting elements, which do not have a T-shaped inner profile. Byshifting the clamp into the connecting element, the clamping clasp ispushed over the hollow profile, which is disposed under each guide. Toaccommodate the separator, the hollow profile is set back somewhat inthe region of the bottom of the guide and forms a recess, into which theseparator of the clamp is pushed. By these means, it is assured that thestop surface of the connecting element is plane parallel with that ofthe next connecting element and extends correspondingly. A correspondingarrangement of the clamp is claimed pursuant to the invention andexplained. A connecting element, with guides placed at an angle to oneanother in a plane, is connected with a basic element. At each of itstwo T-shaped profiles, placed at an angle to one another, the basicelement carries a clamp, which is pushed with its clamping clasps intothe hollow profiles of the connecting elements for holding and securingthe basic element. As a result, the position of the basic element in theconnecting element is secured horizontally in an x axis and verticallyin a y axis. Owing to the fact that the recesses take up the separatorsof the clamps, a planar contact of the following connecting element, asalready explained, is assured. The disclosed incorporation of the clampsin the guides and the therewith attained positional securing of thebasic elements in the guides, is advantageously supported additionallyby the fact that mutually opposite sealing elements are inserted in thehollow places of the guides in their side walls in the region of thebase and of the head of the guides. These sealing elements are disposedin all guides of the connecting element, irrespective of whether theyhave a corresponding or a T-shaped inner profile. The sealing elementsat the foot of the guides enclose the side wall of the clamps and sealthe necessarily resulting gap between the head of the T-shaped profilesof the basic element and the side wall of the guide. The sealingelements, which enclose a profiled region of the basic element used andlie against it, sealing it, and which are disposed in the head region,seal all types of guides precisely.

However, the straddling dowel, which is to be provided pursuant to theinvention, is a completing element, essential for the kit. Thestraddling dowel has a rectangular head part, which is bent at rightangles and adjoining which there is a parallel shaft with a rectangularcross section. At the lower end of the shaft, a denticulation isprovided, which protrudes into the correspondences of the respectivelower parts of the connecting elements and is connected with the thereindisposed denticulation. If the straddling dowels are inserted into thedowel seats of the connecting elements, then they lock the basicelements and connecting elements, brought into effective connection withone another, by the expanding force of the dowel and by the holdingforce of the denticulations, which are brought into engagement.Accordingly, it is possible to bring the configuration of the structuralbody first of all into a position, which is fixed, but not securedstatically. After all parts are aligned and their gap-free positionchecked, expansion screws are inserted in the straddling dowels, theelements are brought into a statically effective position and thestructural member is finally fixed. In the sense of the invention, it isself-evident that the advantages and solutions, noted in the technicalexplanations, cannot be presented completely. The exceptionallyadvantageous design and variation possibility of the kit are reflectedin the originality and versatility of the elements associated with it.The most important advantage and also its functional, basic condition isseen to lie therein that the kit permits structural members to beproduced in various forms and sizes, without having to change a partmechanically. It follows logically that this advantage is even aconstraint since, when changes are made in the modular dimensions of anypart of the kit, the logistics of its use are made inoperative and itsadvantage is canceled. Practical demands are taken into consideration inthat, as far as possible, connections are largely aimed for here, theelements of which can be fitted and act uniformly. Not only the length,as the measure of the connecting elements forming the grid, is uniform,but also, looked at more precisely here, the connection--basic elementconnecting element with a T-shaped inner profile and theconnection--basic element connecting element with a straight guide and aclamp with a T-shaped profile. The elements are brought into concordanceto such an extent, that the matchability of the guide and the holdingmechanism employed for the basic elements differ in them only by theinsertion of the clamp. Even the integration of the sealing elements inthe guides, which actually belongs to the state of the art, as seen fromthe original incorporation in the guides, with the overlapping sealingaction on the basic element in the region of its profile, is aninnovation here and contributes to the fact that the finished structuralmember or its partial planes have high use properties. In the followingexplanation of an example, only one structural body plane is explained.The inventive solution permits so many possible variations and so manypossible designs are made available to the expert, that the presentationeven of several possible applications would not be sufficient torepresent the variability and design possibility of the inventivesolution exhaustively. The solution is not to be limited to formingclosed structural members or vertical surfaces. Rather, it isconceivable to construct the ceilings of light domes, inner courtyards,workshop roofs in serrated or shed form and much more. From theexplanations above, the expert infers that additions to and intermediateconstructions of structural members in existing buildings are alsopossible without difficulties or adaptation work.

The invention is to be explained in greater detail by means of anexample, in which like reference numerals designate the same elements.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

One type of application of the kit is shown in FIG. 1. It is a questionhere of a side wall of a structural body, which is disposed with itsback front at a house wall 24'. The wall is constructed of square,rectangular and triangular basic elements a; b; c and held together withconnecting elements. The connecting elements 1-29 enclose the basicelements a; b; c in framework fashion. At the corner and crossing placesof the connecting elements, floor connectors and cross connectors 3; 26are disposed. These connectors 3; 26 are connected horizontally as wellas vertically with connecting strips 20; 26. In the floor region, theconnecting elements are assembled from the floor strips and the floorconnectors 20; 26 into a level line. The floor corners 17 and floor-wallcorners 27 are incorporated in the corner regions. Simultaneously, at anangle of 90° to the already built-up line of elements, a further basicline for a kit plane is connected over these elements 17; 27. A secondplane of the planar wall of the structural body is produced from thebasic elements a; b and c. The lower connecting strap is formed herefrom wall connectors 25, connecting strips 1, cross connectors 3; 4 andcorner elements 5; 17.

The basic elements b are disposed above one another and, in frameworkfashion, developed by means of connecting elements, such as T-shapedconnectors and connecting strips, into a surface assembled to the sizeof the basic element a.

In the third plane, the basic elements a; c are combined into a sectionof the wall and inserted with a ceiling corner, a ceiling-wall cornerand the necessary connecting strips 1, including the correspondingconnectors 3 and 5, into the composite of the surface. The overview ofthe representation, corresponding to FIG. 1, gives an insight into theframework-like grid of connecting elements 1-29, surrounding the basicelements a; b; c, for erecting planar structural members of differentsymmetrical construction. The basic elements a; b and c, used for thispurpose, and the connecting elements of different symmetrical andfunctional construction, are shown and explained in detail in thefollowing Figures. FIG. 1a represents the possibility of assemblingplanar and edge-overlapping basic elements a; b; c within a structuralbody in such a manner, that not only horizontal and vertical body planesare connected to one another, but also, as here, a horizontal directed,but inclined body plane is connected at a vertical surface with aninclined edge in a part of a structural member, which, for example, iscomplicated. This is realized by a corner 5, with a 27° leg inclination.In the horizontal, inclined zone of the corner 5, a rectangular basicelement a and a square basic element b are incorporated in the guides 42and secured with clamps 33, as indicated in only one corner here. Abasic element c, engaging the connecting element with the acute angle,opposite to this, following the inclination of the edge, a basic elementc introduced with the obtuse angle in the guides 42, are in the verticalbody plane in the legs or in the guides 42 disposed therein in the upperregion, the basic element b, inserted between the basic elements c,initiating the horizontal alignment of the vertical structural memberplane. In the horizontal, inclined region, a connecting strip 16, aswell as a divided angular strip 7, pushing against the connectingelement 5, and for connecting with the basic element b, in each case ahorizontal and vertical, nailed-on connecting strip 1 is drawn on thedivided connecting strips 16 and 7, here indicated dowel seats 41. Thisarrangement of basic and connecting elements in the region of aninclined surface, which pushes against a vertical body plane at an angleof 90°, permits the high degree of variability of the kit to berecognized.

Before the individual connecting elements of the kits are described, itis necessary to provide an explanatory insertion for understanding therepeating elements parts, their function in the kit and their connectingelements. At the places where they connect, the connecting elements areprovided with inner profiles 34' and 42'. The inner profiles 34' arecongruent with the shape of the T-shaped profile 34 disposed on theouter edges of the basic elements a; b; c. When these inner profiles arepresent, two types of incorporation of the respective connectingelements in the structural body are possible. On the one hand, it ispermitted, at the start of the installation, to push the elements withtheir inner profiles 34' onto the T-shaped profiles 34 and, with that,to connect the basic element or elements a; b; c.

When the state of installation has progressed and it is no longerpossible to push-on the connecting element with an incorporated T-shapedprofile 34, a division of the respective connecting element takes place.The division is undertaken so that the separation into an upper part anda lower part in each case passes through the T-shaped inner profile 34',as a result of which the guide 37 is opened and the basic elements a; b;c, which are already fixed in position, can be embraced by theconnecting element. After they are embraced, the parts are fixed, asillustrated, for example, in FIGS. 15a, 32a, 53a, 58a, 67a, 72a and 81a.Fixing takes place by inserting the straddling dowel 32 into theappropriate dowel seats 41, which are embedded in the upper parts 40 ofthe connecting elements and have their correspondences 77 in the lowerparts 40'. The straddling dowel 32 is passed through the upper part intothe correspondence of the lower part. In the lower part 40', adenticulation is incorporated, which is engaged by the denticulation 31of the shaft 75 of the straddling dowel 32. Due to the clamping actionof the denticulation 31; 31', the straddling dowel 32 is held and locksthe parts 40; 40' of the respective connecting element and the thereinheld basic elements a; b; c. After a section of the structural body or astructural plane is finished, all elements are fixed by the insertion ofan expansion screw 30 into the straddling dowel 32 and a pressingtogether of the guide 37 with the incorporated T-shaped profiles 34.Sealing elements 38; 38', which embrace the T-shaped profile and theprofile region 80 of the basic elements, sealing them, are incorporatedin each case in a manner, the details of which are not described, in theinner profile 34' of the guides 37. The arrangement refers only toelements, which are installed in one direction. If the basic elementsmust be installed in the connecting elements in two incorporationdirections analogous to an x and a y axis, then the guides 42 areconstructed parallel and open, have a rectangular cross section andpermit insertion of the basic elements a; b; c, which are provided witha clamp 33, into the guide 42 of the respective connecting element. Inthis connection, the clamps 33, which are provided for holding purposes,are pushed with their inner profiles 34' onto the T-shaped profiles 34of the basic elements a; b; c and brought approximately into the region,in which they are to be connected with the respective hollow profiles 39in the guides 42. Accordingly, the basic elements are always installedin the guides 42 with clamps 33, which hold the basic elements a; b; cin the guides 42 of the connecting elements.

The expert infers particularly from FIG. 1 and 1a, as well as 105 and106 that the manufacture of the structural bodies of diversified shapesand use is possible, without having to adapt mechanically even only oneof the connecting elements for the given conditions. It must beemphasized that a change in the grid as well as in the modality of theconnecting elements detracts from the effectiveness and from theeffectivity of the kit that is to be used and would destroy itsadvantageous use. FIG. 2 shows a basic element a. The element a has arectangular, planar construction. At the outer contours, guides aredisposed, which are constructed as T-shaped profiles 34, which enclosethe contours of the basic element a. At the corners of the basic elementa, the T-shaped profiles 34 are provided with flat corner portions 35 upto the thickness of the cross member 36. The flat portions 35 aretechnologically necessary, in order to ensure that connecting elements,with T-shaped profiles 34 of the same type as those of the innerprofiles 34', can be pushed onto or placed on the basic elements andconnected with one another by means of clamps 33 (not shown). The shapeof the T-shaped profile 34 is shown in connection with FIG. 4 on thesquare basic element b of FIG. 3. FIG. 3 shows a basic element b ofsquare shape and similar planar construction as the basic element a. Atthe corners, flat corner portions 35 are provided, as they are in thecase of the basic element a. FIG. 4 shows the basic element b in a planview, partially in section. It can be seen that the basic element b,like the basic element a, consists of a hollow body, the edges andcorner regions of which are combined into a peripheral T-shaped profile34. The transition of the profile takes place over a cross member 36 tothe basic element b, so that the T-shaped profile 34, with its thickenedend, outlines the outer contours of the basic elements a; b. TheT-shaped profile 34 is formed so that its thickened head can be insertedinto the guides 37; 42 of the connecting elements and a clamp 33 can bepushed into the guide 42 to secure the position of the respective basicelement a; b; c. FIG. 5 shows a basic element c in a triangular form.The legs of the right-angled triangle, as well as the hypotenuse areprovided with a T-shaped profile, which has the same dimensions as wellas the same shape as the basic elements a; b. The corners of the elementc are provided with flattened corner portions 35 and permit the T-shapedprofiles 34 to be pushed on freely and the clamps 33 to be accommodatedin the guides 42.

FIG. 6 shows the construction of a T-shaped profile 34 in a partiallysectional representation of a side view of the basic element c. The useris made familiar with the fact that the profile construction selectedhere is the same as that selected for the basic elements a; b. The basicelements a; b; c have at the transition of the cross member 36 to thebasic body a thickened profile region 80 which, during the installationof the clamps 33 and with the connecting element pushed on, engages thesealing element 38', shown, for example, in FIG. 10. FIG. 7 represents aconnecting strip 1 in front view. The diagrammatic front view isintended to show only the outline of the connecting strip 1 and theratio of its length to its width which, in the following representation,is intended to be the basis for naming the grid size of the connectingelements. It may already be noted now that all connecting elements, intheir longitudinal extent, have the same size as viewed from therespectively adjoining connecting element and form a certain uniformgrid.

FIG. 8 shows the side view of the element of FIG. 7. FIG. 9 illustratesa complete representation of the connecting strip 1 in a longitudinalsection. The sectional representation shows the course of the guide is37 in the connecting strip 1. In FIG. 10, the section A--A of FIG. 8 isshown. The sectional representation shows the transverse construction ofthe strip 1 with the lower profile 39 and the thereon adjoining guides37, which are constructed corresponding to the T-shaped profile 34 as aninner profile 34'. Seating elements 38; 38' are incorporated in theguides 37 and act in such a manner, that the introduced T-shaped profile34 of the basic elements a; b; c is held air-tight and with the properfit. FIG. 11 shows a connecting strip 2 in a divided construction. Theside view shows the course of the guide 37. FIG. 12 represents theconnecting strip 2 in a sectional representation having the same view asFIG. 11. The cut profile of the parts 40; 40' of the strip 2 shows theconnecting plane of both parts 40; 40' as well as the position of thedowel seat 41 for fixing both parts 40; 40' to the basic the profilingc. It can be seen from the profiling of the dowel seat 41, shown in FIG.15 that the straddling dowel 32 has an insertion head and, connectedwith the correspondence 77 of the lower part 40', is fitted into theupper part 40 for fixing the position on the respective basic element a;b; c. FIG. 13 shows the upper part of the connecting strip 2, as seenfrom its inner side. The position of the sealing elements 38; 38' in theguide 37 can be seen clearly. FIG. 14 shows the lower part of theconnecting strip 2, as seen from the inside. Here also, the position andincorporation of the sealing elements 38; 38', as well as theconstruction of the dowel seat 41 can be seen clearly. FIG. 15 shows thesection A--A in FIG. 11. It can be seen here that the straddling dowel32 is inserted in order to fix the position of the parts 40; 40' of theconnecting strip 2. The dowel 32 has a denticulation 31, which iscongruent with an opposite internal denticulation 31', which is in thelower part 40' of the connecting strip 2 and incorporated into thecorrespondence 77. By inserting the straddling dowel 32 into theborehole 41 of the lower part 40', the parts are fixed with respect toone another and form a functional unit. For finally fixing thestraddling dowel 32 in the connecting strip 2, it is possible tointroduce an expansion screw 30, the arrangement and function of whichis to be an object of later explanations and which is not shown in FIG.15. The construction of the guide 37 for accommodating the T-shapedprofile 34 is identical to that in the connecting strip 1.

FIG. 15a is an exploded representation of FIG. 15. This type ofrepresentation permits the division of the connecting strip 2 by theguides 37 to be seen clearly. The correspondence 77 in the lower part40' is characterized clearly by an internal denticulation 31', intowhich the straddling dowel 32 can be pushed by the dowel seat 41. FIG.16 shows the diagrammatic front view of a connecting element, which isconstructed as a cross connector 3. The cross connector 3 is constructedin the form of a cross with legs 43 of equal length. Guides 42 areprovided in the legs 43, as can be seen from FIGS. 17 and 18. FIG. 17shows the position and construction of the guides 42. Guides 42 areprovided on each side of the legs and permit four basic elements a; b; cto be incorporated in a crossing region of the structural body. Theguides 42 are constructed in such a shape, that the basic elements a; b;c are introduced up into the apex of the mutually crossing legs 43 andcan be secured by means of clamps 33, which are pushed in. FIG. 18 showsthe course of the guides 42 in the legs 43. It can be inferred preciselyfrom the Figure that the guide 42 is directed through a hollow profile39 in the interior space of the cross connector 3. At its outlet ends,the hollow profile 39 is provided with a recess 72, in which, during theinstallation of the basic elements a; b; c, the clamp 33 isincorporated. FIG. 19 shows the front view of a connecting element,which is shown as a cross connector 4 in a divided construction. Thefront view shows the position of the dowel seat 41, which is providedhere in the center region of the legs 43 of the connector 4. Since thecross connector 4 is divided, FIGS. 20 and 22 show the side view of anupper part 40 and a lower part 40' of the connector 4 diagrammaticallyin section. In the profile, marked by the section, a hollow profile 39is shown, to which the correspondences 77 of the dowel seats 41 areassigned symmetrically. FIG. 21 represents the cross sectionalconstruction of a leg 43 of the connector 4 in the section A--A. Thedowel seat 41 is provided with a straddling dowel 32, which has the sameconstruction that has already been shown for other divided connectingelements. The two halves 40; 40' are held together by the denticulation.The cross-section shows the arrangement of the halves 40; 40' and theconstruction of the guide 37. The divided construction of the crossconnector 4 enables the guide 37 to be constructed, so that it can beused for accommodating the T-shaped profiles 34 and for fixing theposition of the basic elements a; b; c with their T-shaped profiles 34,without introducing holding elements such as clamps 33. FIG. 23 showsthe upper part 40 of the connector 4 with its inner side. The positionand incorporation of the sealing elements 38; 38' can be seen in therepresentation. The hollow profile 39 does not have a recess 72 here,since it is not necessary to use a clamp 33. FIG. 24 represents aninclined corner 5. The inclined corner 5 is a surface-overlapping andedge-overlapping connecting element 5, in order to connect bodysurfaces, inclined vertically and horizontally thereto, with one anotherin their position. FIG. 24 shows a front view of the corner 5, from theangle of the vertical wall. At an inclined plane 44, a vertical leg 45adjoins and, at the right angles thereto, a horizontal leg 46.

FIG. 25 shows the corner 5 in a position, turned through an angle of180° from that shown in FIG. 24. In this position of FIG. 25, theinclined plane 44, like the vertical leg 45, points upward. Moreover,leg 48 with its guides 42 protrudes out of the plane of the drawing. Inthe normal position, leg 48 forms the seat for the basic elements a; b;c of the horizontally inclined body surface of the structural body. Atthe same time, the basic elements a; b; c are pushed into the guide 42and secured by means of clamps 33. FIG. 26 shows a side view of therepresentation of FIG. 25. The leg 45 with its guides 42 can be seenclearly here. The guides 42 in the leg 48 permit at least one triangularbasic element c to be accommodated. A hollow profile 39 adjoins thehorizontally shown guide 42 in FIG. 26. The guide 42 is shown in FIG. 26at the lower edge in the direction of the plane of the drawing. FIG. 27shows a section through FIG. 24. It can be seen here that three basicelements a; b; c, of which at least two are triangular, can beincorporated in the vertical plane. The section of FIG. 27 shows theposition of the guide 42 in the legs 45; 46 and of the inclined plane44, as well as the sealing elements 38; 38', which are incorporated init. It is surely unnecessary to explain the position of the sealingelements 38; 38' in the other legs and leg parts. FIGS. 25 and 26 showthat two basic elements a; b can be incorporated and in the leg 48,which is provided for fastening the horizontally inclined body plane. Itis evident to the expert that the basic elements a; b; c, which are tobe incorporated in the corner 5, are pushed in and fixed in position bymeans of clamps 33.

The incorporation of the corner 5 in the structural body has alreadybeen shown above in FIG. 1a. FIG. 28 shows a connecting element, whichis constructed as an angular strip 6, in a front view. The view showsthe dimensioning of the angular strip 6 and the position of the guide 37with the course of the T-shaped profile 34 on a leg of the angular strip6. FIG. 29 shows a plan view as section A--A of FIG. 28. Two guides 37are disposed at an angle of 90° to one another on a hollow profile 39.The guides 37 are constructed for accommodating T-shaped profiles 34 ofthe basic elements a; b; c. Because of the construction of the guides37, the angular element 6 can be pushed onto the T-shaped profiles 34 ofthe basic elements a; b; c and does not require additional fastening bymeans of a clamp 33. Sealing elements 38; 38' are incorporated in thetwo guides 37 in the manner already shown. A divided angular strip 7 ofthe same dimensions is shown in FIG. 30. The position of the guide 37with the T-shaped profile 34 on one leg 46 shows the course of the guide37. FIG. 31 shows a plan view of the angular strip 7. Lamellas 47 aredisposed in the hollow profile 39 here for reinforcing the lateraccommodation of basic elements a; b; c and of dowels 32, as shown inFIG. 32. The plan views shows the dividing sites, at which the upperpart 40 and the lower part 40' of the angle strip 7 have theirconnecting sites and are assembled. FIG. 32 shows the position of thestraddling dowel 32 in the upper part 40 and the lower part 40' of theangular strip with the coordinated correspondences 77. For the finalsecuring of the now assembled, dividable angular strips 7, an expansionscrew 30 is already introduced here into the straddling dowel 32. Ofcourse, two dowel seats 41 are disposed in the angular strip 7, as isshown in FIG. 32 by the course of the center lines. FIG. 32a representsan exploded diagram of FIG. 32. The exploded representation shows thatthe division of the strip into an upper part 40 and a lower part 40'passes through the centers of the guide. For assembling the two parts40; 40', a dowel seat 41 is provided in the region of the apex of theangular upper part 40 for the introduction of a straddling dowel 32,which has its correspondence in the opposite correspondence with itsinner denticulation 31' in the lower part 40'. It is clearly evident tothe expert that the two parts 40; 40' are directed counter to theT-shaped profiles 34 of the basic elements a; b; c and fixed and lockedthere. Because it can be divided, the angular strip can be inserted inalready pre-installed structural bodies, that is, it does not have to bepushed onto the T-shaped profiles 34, but can, because of its dividedconstruction, be applied on both sides of the T-shaped profile 34,locked by the straddling dowel 32 and finally fixed in the installedstate by the expansion screw 30. FIG. 32a once again shows the positionof the lamellas 47, now at the intersection of the section A--A in theregion of the dowel seat. The construction ensures that the connectingelement 7 has a high stability and a high resistance to twisting.

FIG. 33 shows a connecting element, which is constructed as a closingcorner 8, in a front view. The front view shows the contours of theclosing corner 8 in the form of an inverted T with the legs 43; 45; 46.The neck of the leg of the inverted T protrudes upwards into this viewand the two legs 45; 46 protrude in diametrically opposite directions.FIG. 34 shows a side view of the corner 8. It can be inferred from theview that, at right angles to the course of the leg 43 and connectedwith the legs 45; 46, a further leg 48 is attached which, as can beinferred from the following FIG. 34, has the same construction as thelegs 45; 46. FIG. 35 shows the course of the section A--A of FIG. 33. Itcan be seen in plan view that, at the right angles to the hollow profile39, a further hollow profile 39 passes through the leg 43; 48 in order,as will be explained later, to ensure the insertion of holding clamps33. For this purpose, recesses 72 are incorporated in the necks 55 ofthe legs. The position of the guides 42 can be inferred from therepresentations of FIGS. 34, 35, 36, FIG. 36 showing the section B--B ofFIG. 33. Section B--B illustrates that the guides 42 are configuredidentically to those of the representation in FIG. 34 and in the similarview 35 in the leg 43, which is horizontal here. The constructions ofthe guides 42 are configured, so that the basic elements a; b; c, whichare to be connected, are pushed into the guides and fixed in positionwith clamps 33. The possibility is opened up to the viewer that in eachcase four basic elements, which are located in pairs at an angle of 90°to one another, can be connected in pairs to one another by means of theclosing corner 8. It is possible here to connect the basic elements a;b; c of vertical and horizontal flat formations statically positively. Aconnecting element, constructed as a ceiling corner 9, is shown in adiagrammatic front view in FIG. 37 and shows the legs 43; 45 of theceiling corner 9, which are directed at an angle of 90° to one another.FIG. 38 shows the same object as FIG. 37 in a plan view. The legs 43; 45are shown here with their guides 42, which are at right angles to oneanother. The course of legs 46; 48 appears here as a side view andbecomes clearly visible after the corner 9 is rotated through 180° abouta horizontal axis. It can be seen that the legs 46; 48 have the sameposition and construction of the guides 42, as do the legs 43; 45;however, in each case, they stand horizontally and vertically at anangle of 90° to one another. The ceiling corner 9 permits the insertionof three elements and connects a basic element a; b; c at an anglethereto with two angular elements a; b; c of optional construction. Theconnection is suitable only for the edges of the basic element a; b; c,which are at an angle of 90° to another. In this connection, it isarbitrary whether one element a; b; c is horizontal and two verticalthereto or whether the position is reversed. The guides 42 permit aneffortless insertion of the basic elements a; b; c and the securing ofthem by clamp 33.

In a manner understandable to the expert, FIG. 40 shows a sectionthrough the element 9 in the position of FIG. 39 through the legs 43;45. The recess 72 for accommodating the clamps 33 is shown here, as isthe position of the sealing elements 38; 38'. A cross connector 10, asconnecting element, is shown in a front view of FIG. 41. The view showsthe contours of the connecting element. The contours form a T-shape witha narrow cross member 49 and a thickened holding body 50, which isdisposed at an angle of 90° centrally to the cross member 49. FIG. 42shows the plan view of the cross connector 10. Leg 49 shows guides 42,which are seen here in plan view and approach one another at an angle of90°. Further guides 42 are provided at the continuous side of theholding body 50 and are separated by a doubly acting stop 51. Theextended construction of the holding body 50 of the connector 10 isattained by the incorporation of three hollow profiles, which areprovided with recesses 72 at their inner sides. Likewise, the hollowprofile 39 of the cross member 49, has a recess 72, in order to ensure,after the introduction of the respectively assigned basic element a; b;c, the incorporation of clamps 33 for fixing the position of the basicelements a; b; c. The cross connector 10 permits the insertion of fourbasic elements a; b; c which, directed in one plane, form a surface.FIG. 43 shows the course of section A--A of FIG. 42. The position of theguides 42 for accommodating the four basic elements a; b; c, can be seenclearly here, as can the insertion of the sealing elements 38; 38' inthe guide 42. The cross connector 10, in this selected configuration, isprovided for accommodating basic elements a; b; c which, in each case,assigned to their side, can have different configurations and edgeformations. The guides 42 are constructed for pushing the basic elementsa; b; c into the guides 42. All four basic elements a; b; c are held byclamps 33, which are incorporated into the recess 72 on the side of thehollow profiles 39. FIG. 44 shows a modification of the straight crossconnector 10. The cross connector 11 is bent there in the region of thetransition of the holding body 50, which is constructed here as a crossmember 49. In this case, the angle of bend, measured from the horizontalplane, is 27°. The position of the cross connector 11 during use isarbitrary. The arrangement of the guide 42 is similar to thearrangements of the guides 42 on the cross connector 10. By means ofthis cross connector 10, it is possible to arrange the four basicelements a; b; c relative to one another, the assignment of the planes,formed by the basic elements a; b; c, being formed in one by the legposition, cross member 49 and holding body 50 of the cross connector 11.It is now possible to produce perpendicular or inclined surfaces, whichare constructed in conjunction with the basic elements a; b; c and arearranged at an angle of 27° to one another. FIG. 45 shows thisconstellation. The position of the legs 49; 50 relative to one anotheris shown here, as are the guides 42, which necessarily result therefrom.The construction of the peripheral connecting elements, such as hollowprofiles 39 and recesses 72, are shown similar to the arrangements shownfor the straight cross connector 10.

To complete the kit, a ceiling corner is shown in a diagrammatic frontview in FIG. 46. The diagrammatic view of FIG. 46 has been chosen inorder to emphasize the basic function of the element in the kit alreadypictorially. The corner permits basic elements a; b; c to beaccommodated in the upper corner region of a structural body, which hasan inclined area, a horizontal area of and an area directed at an angleof 90° to the latter. FIG. 47 shows a perpendicular section through thebody in the position of FIG. 46 for the basic elements a; b; c, whichare to be incorporated vertically. The inclined course of leg 57 can beseen here. This sectional representation of FIG. 47 shows that two basicelements a or b and c are incorporated here and that the slope of theleg 57 is developed at the leg 56' by the basic element c. The positionof the sealing elements 38; 38' of the guides 42 can be seen clearly inthe Figure. FIG. 48 shows a representation of the element 12, rotatedthrough an angle of 180° about a vertical axis. For orientation, theouter point of the contour is provided with the reference number 81 andshows its position opposite to that of FIG. 46. FIG. 48 shows that,opposite the vertically directed leg 56'; 57, other legs 52; 53 aredisposed, leg 52 and leg 53 basically being at right angles to leg 57and leg 53 being inclined outward at an angle of 27° to the vertical.The course of the guide 42 in the leg 53 as well as in the leg 52 leavesopen the possibility of disposing three basic elements a; b; c in theceiling corner 12 in the vertical plane, the basic element a; b; c inthe leg 52; 53 being directed at a right angle to the basic elements a;b; c in the leg 57. The guides 42 in the leg 53 in FIG. 49, extending inthe plane of the slab, enable basic elements a; b; c to be incorporatedin the ceiling corner 12. FIG. 49 shows the ceiling corner 12, rotatedthrough an angle of 90° about a horizontal axis relative to that of FIG.48. As already explained, the leg 56 now lies horizontally and permits aview into the leg 57 with its guides 42. It can be seen clearly thatguides 42, disposed next to the hollow profiles 39, the tip of atriangular basic element c can be incorporated, while the guide 42,aside from a further hollow profile 39, permits the incorporation of arectangular basic element a; b. To the edge of the point 81, nowextending with the plane of the slab, is assigned parallel on the leg56' of the guide 42, the position of which in the space, as shown inFIG. 48, permits a distorted reproduction. Recess 72 are provided forthe clamps 33, which connect the basic elements a; b; c, pushed into theguides 42, with the ceiling corner 12. The position of the sealingelements can be inferred appropriately from all Figures. A connectingelement, constructed as an angular strip 13, is shown in a front view inFIG. 50. The angular strip 13 has two legs 46; 48 of unequal length,which are inclined at an angle of 117° to one another. The angular strip13 has the same length as the other connecting elements. The guide 37,into which the T-shaped profile 34 of the basic elements a; b; c ispushed, is drawn on the view of FIG. 50. FIG. 51 shows a plan view ofthe angular strip. The inclination of the legs 46; 48 at an angle of117° to one another, which was already shown in the previous Figure, canbe recognized clearly here. The guide 37 on the leg 46 can be seen here.As in the case of the leg 48, it permits a T-shaped inner profile 34' ofthe basic elements a; b; c to be pushed in. Due to the mutually inclinedlegs, it is possible to dispose two basic elements a; b; c inclined atan angle of 117° to one another and, with that, achieve a bending of thesurface plane of a structural body. Of course, as in the case of allother connecting elements, a hollow profile 39 is incorporated here, inorder to achieve a reduction in weight. Sealing elements 38; 38'complete the construction of the guide 37. In FIG. 52, the side viewshows an angular strip 14, which basically has the same construction andinclination of the legs as the angular strip 13. In order to improve theinstallation of the element 14 in the structural member, the angularstrip is constructed in a divided form. The sectional representationA--A passes through the straddling dowel 32 in the dowel seat 41, whichis drawn on the leg 46 of the strip 14. The recesses for the straddlingdowel 32 are incorporated in the upper part 40 of the leg 46. FIG. 53shows the course of the section A--A through the already mentionedstraddling dowel 52. The two parts of the angle 14, that is, the upperpart 40 and the lower part 40', can be recognized in thisrepresentation. In the upper part 40, the straddling dowel 32 is passedthrough a throughhole and, with its denticulation, reaches the lowerpart 40', in which it connects with the inner denticulation 31' of thelower part 40' with its correspondence 77 and holds the upper and lowerparts of the connecting strip 14 together, fixing their position. Afterthe installation and the aligning of the surfaces or of the structuralmember are completed, the final locking takes place by the introductionof expansion screws 30 in the straddling dowel 32. Due to theirconstruction, the guides 37 in the legs 46; 48 embrace the T-shapedprofiles 34 of the basic elements a; b; c, brought into conjunction withthem, and lock them positively. The angular strip 14 has the advantagethat, in the course of the installation, it can be put in place on thestructural member intermittently due to the construction as an upperpart 40 and a lower part 40' and, after the two parts 40; 40' areconnected, can assume the full function of a connecting element. Herealso, as in the case of the integral angular strip 13, it is possible toproduce bent planes of a structural member. FIG. 53a shows the angularstrip of FIG. 53 in an exploded representation. The division of theelements into an upper part and a lower part takes place basicallythrough the guide 37. The dowel seat 41 in the upper part 40 has itscontacting surface in the correspondence 77 of the lower part 40'. Likeall other divided connecting elements, this connecting element has inits lower part a correspondence 77, which interacts with the dowel seat41 in the upper part 40 and ensures the pushing in of a straddling dowel32 and the securing of both parts in their position.

FIG. 54 introduces a diagrammatic front view of a connecting strip 15.The connecting strip 15 has a rectangular construction and, at itslonger edges, carries guides 37, as shown in greater detail in FIG. 55.The connecting strip 15 extends further in width than do the connectingstrips 1; 2. This extent is attained by incorporating hollow profiles39, which are disposed between the guides 37 and make a planar extent ofthe connecting strip 15 possible. Sealing elements 38; 38', incorporatedin the guide, permit a play-free introduction of the T-shaped profiles34 into the guides 37. According to FIGS. 54, 55, the connecting strip16 is shown in FIG. 56 in a front view as a divided element. Thestraddling dowel 32 is incorporated centrally at a functionallyappropriate distance. The straddling dowel seats here, as with alldivided connecting elements, are constructed so that the dowel 32 doesnot protrude beyond the plane of the surface of the connecting element16. FIG. 57 shows a plan view of the connecting strip 16. Theconstruction of the guide 37 and its position can be recognized here.FIG. 58 shows the course of the section B--B of FIG. 56. It can be seenhere that the two parts 40; 40' of the connecting strip 16 are heldtogether by straddling dowels 32, into which, for finally fixing theposition and for taking over the function as a static element of astructural member, after incorporation between the basic elements a; b;c, which are to be connected, an expansion screw 30 is introduced intothe straddling dowel 32. The connecting strips are configured as inFIGS. 56; 58, similar to the construction of the connecting strip 15,for connecting basic elements a; b; c in one plane. The incorporation ofsealing elements 38; 38' is undertaken in the manner already describedfor other connecting elements. FIG. 58a shows an exploded representationof FIG. 58. The division of the guide 37 can be recognized in the shapeof the T-shaped profile 34. The dowel seat 41 has a denticulation 31 inthe lower part 40' with the correspondence 77. The dowel seat 41 for thedowel 32 is constructed in the upper part 40. After the upper part 40and the lower part 40' are assembled, the connecting strip 16 of thestraddling dowel 32 is introduced into and guided in the region of thedenticulation 31'. In this region, the straddling dowel fixes theposition of the parts of the connecting strip on the basic elements a;b; c connected by it. After all the kit parts, brought together with theconnecting element, are aligned completely, the parts of the connectingstrip can be fixed in their position after an expansion screw isinserted. FIG. 59 shows a connecting element, constructed as a floorcorner 17, in a diagrammatic side view. With this element, it ispermitted to erect the structural body with its corner regions on acontact surface. With that, the structural member is supported on thefloor elements, which is shown here as the floor corner 17 of FIG. 60,rotated through 180°. In this Figure, the guide 42 is provided on a legpart of the leg 45, which is offset by 90° with respect to leg 48. Theguides 42 are aligned into the slab plane here and permit basic elementsa; b; c to be inserted in an inclined plane. FIG. 61 shows thearrangement of a triangular basic element c in the leg 48, which isshown in the position of FIG. 59. FIG. 61 is a longitudinal sectionthrough the plane of the leg 46; 48 of FIG. 59. The incorporation of theguides 42, fitted out with sealing elements 38; 38', can be seen in thesectional plane. The element 17 supports the structural body on thecontact surface 58. With this element, it is permitted to construct acorner region, which consists of a vertical plane, adjoining which thereis a surface, inclined at an angle of 90°. This inclination is realizedowing to the fact that a triangular basic element c is pushed into theguides 42 of the legs 46; 48 of FIG. 61. For forming the inclinedsurface in the guides 42, a basic element a; b, with a guide constructedat an angle of 90° to one another, is incorporated in the leg part ofthe leg 48. Sealing elements 38; 38' complete the connecting element.FIG. 62 shows a further floor element 18 of the group of connectingelements in a diagrammatic front view. A guide 37 is disposed on a basicbody 60 and, with a contact surface 58, forms the floor strip 18. Thecontact surface is incorporated in such a manner in the basic body 60,that the floor strip is inclined at an angle α of 27°, as shown in FIG.63. The guide is disposed opposite to the contact surface and extendsalong the longer upper edge of the basic body 60. Due to theconstruction of its guide 37, the floor strip 18 can be pushed onto theT-shaped profiles 34 of the basic elements a; b; c and is sealed in theguides by sealing elements 38; 38'. FIG. 64 shows the floor strip 18 ofFIGS. 63, 64 with the same dimensions, but with a divided construction.FIG. 64 shows a diagrammatic representation, in order to make thecontours recognizable. FIG. 65 illustrates the exact construction of theparts 40; 40' and of the floor strip 19. The side view shows that part40' is inserted in the part 40, and that the point of separationintervenes in the region of the guide 37, in order to make it possibleto join the floor strip 19 to the basic elements a; b; c and to embracetheir T-shaped profiles 34. The position of the dowel seat for insertingthe straddling dowel 32 cannot be seen in FIG. 65 and is explained ingreater detail in FIG. 66. The view in FIG. 66 is swiveled about ahorizontal axis through an angle of 180° from the view shown in FIG. 64.The dowel seat with the straddling dowels 32, with which the two parts40; 40' of the floor strip of 19 are held together, can be seen here.The nature of the connection has been explained in sufficient detail inconjunction with the previous explanations of the divided connectingelements. However, it is shown once again in detail in FIG. 67. It canbe seen here that the part 40' is attached to the part 40 with thecorrespondence 77 in such a manner, that the guide 37 was closed and theT-shaped profile 34, in a firm connection, embraces the respective basicelement a; b; c. A straddling dowel 32 locks the two parts 40; 40'together in the manner already described. A contact surface is assignedto the basic body 60 in such a manner, that the floor strip 19,deviating from the vertical at an angle of 27°, can stand on the contactsurface and finds use for the construction of inclined structural membersurfaces.

FIG. 67a is an exploded representation, which shows the course of thedivision between the upper part 40 and the lower part 40'. The lowerpart 40' remains connected to the basic body 60, the upper part 40 withthe dowel seats 41, after the installation in the structural body, beingconnected to one another by straddling dowels 32. A floor strip 20 withan erecting surface 58 for erecting vertical walls is shown in FIG. 68in a diagrammatic front view. On the upper, longitudinal edge oppositethe contact surface 58, a guide 37 is disposed, as can be inferred fromFIG. 69, which is a side view of FIG. 68. The guide 37 is constructed asa T-shaped internal profile 34', so that the floor strips 20 can bepushed onto the T-shaped profiles 34 and are seated securely due to thesealing elements 38; 38' which have already been mentioned frequently.It is self-evident that the longitudinal extent of the floor strip 20 iscongruent with the longitudinal extent of the already previouslyexplained connecting elements. The floor strip 21 of FIGS. 70; 71; 72has the same dimensions as the floor strip 20, but is constructed in adivided form. The position and arrangement of a dowel seat 41 forintroducing the straddling dowels 32 can be recognized from the view.The side view of the bottom strip 21 can be seen in FIG. 21, from whichthe arrangement of the division of the bottom strip 21 can be inferred.The division passes through the guide 37 and, in the case of the dividedconstruction, opens the guide 37 in the position of the correspondence77. FIG. 72 shows the section B--B of FIG. 70. The two parts 40; 40' ofthe floor strip 21 are shown here in the assembled state. A straddlingdowel 32 is inserted with its denticulation 31 through the part 40 inthe part 40', locking the latter. As is self-evident, this locking isundertaken when the floor strip 21 is installed, the guide 37 surroundsthe T-shaped profile 34 of the basic elements a; b; c and the strip 21becomes effective at the structural element. FIG. 72a shows arepresentation, which underlines the above explanation. A connectingelement, constructed as a wall corner 22, is shown in a diagrammaticfront view in FIG. 73.

The front view is defined by the leg 43. FIG. 74 shows a longitudinalsection through the leg 43, shown in the position of FIG. 73 and showsthat a basic element c is used here, which permits the wall corner 22 toslope at an angle of 27°. Opposite to the larger opening region of theleg 43, a bearing surface is disposed, with which the element 22,supported at a house wall, is brought into contact. The leg 45, which isfixed to the leg 43 at an angle of 90°, is bent and goes over into apart, which includes a contact surface 58 for leaning against the wall,as can be inferred from the more complex representation of the wallcorner 22 of FIG. 75, follows the slope of the leg 43. Returning onceagain to FIG. 74, the incorporation of the guide 42 in the leg 43 can beinferred. Since FIG. 75 is rotated through an angle of 180° relative toFIG. 73 about a horizontal axis, the leg 45, striking at an angle of90°, protrudes from the plane of the drawing, as can readily be seen.FIG. 76 shows a side view of FIG. 75 and the assignment of the legs 43;45 to one another. The guide 42 on the leg 43 is congruent with theguide 42 in FIG. 74 and, in the complete construction of the guide 42 inFIG. 76, protrudes from the plane of the panel. The contact surface 58encloses a hollow profile 39. The course of the leg 45 shows theposition in the guide 42 in a diagrammatically shifted position. Thiscomponent serves as the concluding wall corner 22, if the inclined planeof a surface of a structural member is to end, for example, at a housecorner. For the installation with the corresponding basic elements a; b;c, the T-shaped profiles 34 of the latter are inserted into the guides42 of the wall corner 22 and fixed securely in position with clamps 33.FIG. 77 shows a wall strip 23 in a diagrammatic front view, from whichthe ratio of the contours of the strip 23 can be inferred. The side viewof FIG. 78 shows the position of the legs 61; 62 of the wall strip 23relative to one another. The leg 62 is the shorter leg and adjoins thelonger leg 61 at an angle α of 27°. At the head of the leg 61, a guide37 is disposed, into which the T-shaped profiles 34 of the adjoiningbasic elements a; b; c can be pushed. A contact surface 58 is providedat the underside of the head of the leg 62, which has a bearing surface79 for supporting an existing wall, with which the wall strip 23, afterbeing inserted in an inclined structural member surface, such as thewall of a house, can lean against. Like all other connecting elements,this element also, for the reason of minimizing weight, is provided witha hollow profile 39 and the guide 37 is equipped with sealing elements38; 38'. FIG. 79 shows the wall strip 24 of FIG. 77. The position andarrangement of the dowel seat 41 for the straddling dowel 52 can beinferred from the view. Since the shape of the wall strip 24 is similarto that of the wall strip 23, which has already being described, onlythe construction of the division is referred to here. FIG. 80 shows theabutting surface of the parts 40; 40' of the wall strip 84. As with theundivided wall strip 23, the guide 37 is disposed at the head of the leg61 and is opened when the upper part 40 of the strip 24 is removed. Thetwo parts 40; 40' of the wall strip 24 are connected with a straddlingdowel 32, which is inserted in a dowel seat 41 and, with itsdenticulation 31, engages the correspondence 77 of the lower part 40',as shown in FIG. 81. The expert is provided with a connecting elementhere, with which, in the course of the installation completing theseries of connecting elements, he can fasten the wall strip to therespective basic element a; b; c. It is obvious that complete elements,such as sealing elements 38; 38', are disposed in the guide 37 and thatan expansion screws 31 can be introduced into the straddling dowel 32for the final fixing. FIG. 81a shows the wall strip 24 in an explodedrepresentation. The upper part 40 in the region of the guide 37, as wellas the dowel seat 41 are shown separately here. In the dowel seat 41 ofthe lower part 40', the denticulation 31 in the correspondence 77 can berecognized in the form of an inner denticulation 31', into which thedowel seat 32 with its denticulated shaft part can be pushed, when theupper part 40, which embraces the T-shaped profile 34 of a basic elementa; b; c, is fixed on this and, by penetration of the adjusting the screw30 into the straddling dowel 32, is locked. FIG. 82 diagrammaticallyshows the front view of a T-shaped connector 25. The T-shaped connector25 is formed from a vertical cross member 49 and a holding body 50. FIG.83 shows the T-shaped connector in a view from below, in which thearrangement of the guide 42, which extends continuously on the back ofthe holding body, can be recognized. On the inside of the holding body50, in the region of the cross member 49, mutually abutting guides 42are provided, which make it possible to connect the now three basicelements a; b; c. This representation can be seen in FIG. 85, whichshows a sectional course through the T-shaped connector of FIG. 82,rotated through 180° about a horizontal axis. FIG. 84 introduces theposition of the guide 42 in the region where the cross member of 49 istied into the holding body 50 and shows the construction of the guide42, which ensures that the basic elements a; b; c can be pushed betweenthe cross member 49 and the holding body 50, as well as at the back ofthe holding body 50. FIGS. 83 and 84 provide an overview of thepossibilities for locking the pushed-in basic elements a; b; c byinserting a clamp 33 into the guide 42 and connecting the basic elementsa; b; c by overlapping of the hollow profile 39 in the region of therecess 72. By means of the T-shaped connector, it is possible to connectthree basic elements. At the same time, all basic elements have aparallel position and are connected on five sides with the T-shapedconnector. The connecting of the basic elements a; b; c with theT-shaped connector 25 is meaningful, if the basic elements are to beassembled into a surface. A floor connector 26 of FIG. 86 is providedwith the same contours as the T-shaped connector 25. From thediagrammatic representation of this Figure, it can be seen that thecross member 49 stands vertically on the holding body 50. The lower longside of the holding body 50 has a contact surface 58. The side view ofFIG. 87 characterizes the position of the guides 42, which areincorporated in the cross member 49 as well as in the holding bodies 50.The locking of the two basic elements a; b; c, which are to beincorporated in the floor connector 26, is accomplished by means ofpushing the basic elements a; b; c into the guide 42. The basic elementsa; b; c are fixed in position by pushing clamps 33 into the connectingelement in the region of the recesses 72. The floor connector 26 is usedas connecting element in order to connect two basic elements a; b; c,which are to be installed near the floor, and to place the body side orthe structural surface erected therewith by means of the contact surface58 upon a foundation. Of course, the extent of the external dimensionsof the floor connector is congruent with that of the other connectingelements. A further connecting element, as floor-wall corner 27, isshown in a diagrammatic front view in FIG. 88. FIG. 88 shows that, alongthe mutually perpendicular legs 56; 57 of the floor-wall corner, acontact surface 58 is provided at the horizontally extending leg 57 anda bearing surface at the rising leg 56. FIG. 89 shows the contour of thefloor-wall corner 27 in a side view with the position of the contactsurface 58 and the bearing surface 63. Starting out from FIG. 88 turnedto the left, a side view of the floor-wall corner 27 is given in FIG.90, and shows the position of the guide 42 in the inner region of thecorner of the angle. A basic element a; b; c is pushed into the guides42 and connected by means of clamps 33 over the recess 72 with thefloor-wall corner 27. This component, constructed as a floor-wall corner27, is to be used as the end of a structural surface standing on thefloor, in relation to an adjoining house wall. The connecting elementensures precise fixation of the structural body surface in the xthregion between foundation and house wall.

FIG. 91 shows a connecting element, which is constructed as aceiling-wall corner 28, in a diagrammatic front view with the legs 56;57 and the bearing surface 63, with which the connecting element isbrought into contact, for example, with a house wall. FIG. 92 shows theelement rotated through 180° about a horizontal axis in a side view inlongitudinal section. Moreover, the position of the guide 42 as well asthe incorporation of the sealing elements 38; 38' can be seen. FIG. 93shows a side view of the ceiling corner of FIG. 91, rotated to the left.At the same time, the position of the leg 48, which according to FIG. 91lies in the direction of the plane of the table and adjoins leg 56 at anangle of 90°, can be seen. Guides 42, into which the basic elements a;b; c are pushed, are incorporated in the legs 56; 57; 48. In astructural member, these basic elements a; b; c are disposed in avertical side wall, in a vertical rear wall and in a horizontal ceiling.With that, the ceiling-wall corner 28 connects the basic elements a; b;c of two vertical structural member sides, which are inclined at anangle to one another, as well as of a horizontal ceiling side of thestructural body. Of course, the respective basic element a; b; c, whichis pushed into the guide 42, is secured with clamps 33, which engage theceiling-wall corner 28 over recesses 72. FIG. 94 shows the diagrammaticfront view of a connecting element in a construction as transitionelement 29. FIG. 94 shows the position of the legs 43; 45; 46, which canbe seen in the view, in a vertical plane. FIG. 95 shows a downwarddirected leg 43, which forms an acute angle with the perpendicular leg45. The leg 46 extends at an angle of 90° from the leg 45. FIG. 95 showsa longitudinal section through the element in the position of FIG. 94.The course of the guides 42 shows that it is possible to push in a basicelement c, as well as a basic element a; b. Sealing elements 38; 38' areinserted in the dark-colored regions. FIG. 96 shows the representationof the transition part 29, rotated in a horizontal axis through 180°compared to FIG. 94. The vertical legs 43; 45; 46, which are directedvertically downward in FIG. 94, are now directed vertically upward. Legs64; 65, which are not visible in FIG. 94 and protrude from the rear ofthe view of FIG. 94, now protrude from the plane of the table in FIG. 96and show the position of the guides 42 in the legs 64; 65. In FIG. 97,which is a side view of FIG. 96, the position of the guides 42 in thelegs 45; 64 is shown and permits the position of the guides 42 to berecognized. At the left inner side, the inclined leg 65 can be seenshortened in the plane of the drawing. The transition part is anextremely complicated connecting element, highly integrating the basicelements a; b; c in the kit. With this element, it is possible toconnect a horizontal, a vertical as well an inclined rectangular basicelement a; b; c with the structural member and to incorporate it in theperpendicular position with an angular range of 90°. The position of theguides 42 in the legs 43; 45; 46 as well as 64; 65 permit the respectivebasic elements a; b; c to be connected in their position and arrangementin an uncomplicated manner. For producing surfaces of the structuralbody, the elements of the kit are pushed together, that is, pushed intothe guide and locked by means of clamps 33.

FIG. 98 shows the clamp 33 in a diagrammatic side view. A clamping clasp68 is connected to the basic body 67 and rises up with formation of agap 69 along the back of the basic body 67. The gap is constructed sothat the wall of a hollow profile 39 can be accommodated through it. Aninner profile 34', corresponding to the guide 37, that is, in the formof a T-shaped profile 34 with an opening 70 for the cross member 36, canbe recognized in the profile opening 70. The T-shaped profile 34 of abasic element a; b; c is introduced into this profile opening 70, shownin FIG. 99. After the basic elements a; b; c are disposed in the guide42 of the connecting elements, the clamping clasp 68 is pushed over thewall of the hollow profile 52 and locks the basic element a; b; c in therespective guide of the connecting element used. FIG. 100 shows a viewfrom below of the element in the position of FIG. 98, turned through 90°upward. The course of the gap 69 can be recognized. FIG. 101 shows theclamp 33 in the course of the section B--B of FIG. 100 in a side view;at the same time, the guide 37 is opened and the course of the T-shapedprofile can be recognized. Aside from the separator 73 in the profiledfloor 71, the basic body 67 is opened, the clamping clasp 68 protrudingover the opening. FIG. 102 shows a straddling dowel 32 in plan view insection. In the example, the configuration of the straddling dowel 32 isto be shown, which is constructed congruently with the shape of thedowel seat 41 and, in its interior, has a borehole 74 for accommodatingan expansion screw 30. FIG. 103 shows the front view of the straddlingdowel. At the shaft 75 of the straddling dowel, a denticulation 32 isprovided, which connects with the denticulation 31 in the dowel seat 41of the divided connecting elements and thus connects the upper parts 40and the lower parts 40', locking them together before the connectingelements are locked after a fundamental alignment of all connectingelements at the structural body. FIG. 104 shows an expansion screw 30for expanding the straddling dowel 32. In FIG. 105, the incorporation ofthe clamp 33 in the guide 42 of a connecting element 27 is shown. Theconnecting element 27 has a hollow profile 59. A basic element a isconnected with clamps 33 in the region of its T-shaped profiled, whichare aligned at an angle of 90° to one another, and pushed into theprofiles 42 of the connecting elements 27. The clamping clasp 68 of theclamp 33 overlaps the wall of the hollow profile 59. The separator 73fixing the clamping clasp 68 to the profiled floor 71 is pushed into therecess 72 and provides an accurate bearing surface between the followingelement and the already locked connecting element 27. The sealingelements 38; 38', shown in FIG. 105, guarantee that the clamps lie inthe guide 42 of the connecting element 27 without play. It can berecognized from FIG. 106 that it is a question here of the insertion ofa rectangular or square basic element a; b; c in the angle region of anangular connecting element 27. It may furthermore be inferred that, inthe angular region where the guides 42 meet, the clamp 33 meet oneanother horizontally and vertically and ensure that the connectingelements 27 are locked securely in position with the basic element a inthe direction of a y axis. With their clamping clasps 68 engaging thehollow profile 39, the pushed-in holding clamps 33 ensure the sameconnecting action as the T-shaped profiles 34 of the guides 37. It canbe seen from FIG. 106 that the holding clamp 33, having T-shaped innerprofiles 34', is constructed smooth and parallel at its outer sides. Thesmooth sides are introduced into the guides 42 and lie against sealingelements 38 in the guides 42 in this case in the connecting element 27.When the pushed-on clamp 33 is introduced completely into the guide 42,the sealing element 38' encircles the profiled region 80 of the basicelement a, ensuring that, aside from the statically exceptionally stableconnection of the basic element with the connecting element, anair-tight connection without play is produced.

FIGS. 107 to 117 show axonometric representations of the structuralelement of FIGS. 7; 16; 28; 33; 41; 44; 46; 54; 59; 68 and 88. Theelements have not been provided with reference numbers, in order toconcentrate the attention of the viewer on the structural details of theparts constructed as hollow bodies. The viewer will recognize that it isa question here of computer simulations, which expertly anddiagrammatically show the inner functional parts of the structuralelements
